Have you experienced tooth loss? If so, it’s best to discuss your treatment options with one of our dental implant dentists in West Palm Beach, FL. During your appointment, they’ll help you determine if you’re a likely candidate for dental implants and will advise you on your next steps.
In the meantime, here’s what you need to know about the and what candidates tend to have in common.
Tooth Loss
We can replace any number of teeth with dental implants. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several teeth in a row, our dentists will be able to develop a treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique needs. For example, we may recommend an implant-supported denture to restore your smile after significant tooth loss. Likewise, we can also place a single dental implant to replace one tooth in your smile.
Sufficient Bone Density
Once you lose a tooth, your body will start to absorb the minerals in your jaw to use elsewhere. If left untreated, this jawbone deterioration can lead to a condition called facial collapse.
As the name suggests, facial collapse means that your profile may appear sunken as your teeth gradually lose more and more support. If you wear dentures, you may find that they slip more often as you lose more bone density in the jaw.
The good news is that dental implant treatment stops bone loss in its tracks. It does this by exerting pressure on the jawbone, replacing the function of the natural tooth root you lost to due decay, injury, or extraction. This pressure essentially tells the body that the bone tissue around the empty socket is still being used.
If you don’t have sufficient bone density to support a tooth implant, please don’t worry. Our team may recommend a bone graft to supplement the tissue you already have. That way, your implant will have the proper support it needs to fully fuse to the jawbone.
